another gift for a co-worker.
based on the pattern from last minute gifts. i used seed stitch instead of the thermal pattern b/c i had to finish this quickly. the mushroom is needle felted on with lambs pride. the teapot is a vintage arnel, found on etsy.
it was kinda hard to give this one up. i almost gave them something else. i've been searching ebay to find another of the same teapot for myself.
i have so much to do today, and all that i've done so far is read blogs and watch kate bush videos on youtube. i'm such a slacker.
my to do list is jam packed today:
-vacuum
-mop
-bake bread for dinner tonight
-go grocery shopping
-put away xmas gifts
-do load of laundry
-make bed
-put away decorations
-take down tree
-fill up the fish tank...
it just keeps going. i haven't even got a shower yet. all i want to do is darn some socks and read a book. i guess if i can chug enough coffee, i'll get moving. maybe.
what do you do to get motivated?

The mushroom beg looks so awesome!Robbie~ Did she like the beg?
I need to put down my tree this week...I guess everybody's to do list this week!
That is so cool! But I think I'm more interested in the cozy than the teapot.
I do exactly that--make lists--to get motivated. Sometimes, if there are baked goods around, I can use cookies or brownies as leverage. Example: Write a page, eat a cookie. Mop the floor, eat two cookies.
Usually, I just eat cookies and nothing gets done.
cute love what you made! I've never tried needle felting is it hard?
Hey, about the Kusha Kusha scarf: I got a kit from the knitting hutch:
http://theknittinghutch.com/zencart/
there's enough yarn on the spools to make two scarfs, I think.
Looks like they've sold out of lots of colour combos - maybe ask when the next shipment is due?
omg, i haven't thought about kate bush in the longest time, and she has an absolutely amazing voice.
mushroom--incredible! both the cozy and the teapot. i don't know how you could bear to give them away.
i have motivation malaise A LOT of the time. i drink coffee but it doesn't always help. i find that music is a primary mind/mood-altering substance for me, so i'll put on something that is boppy/cheery/upbeat and force myself to sing (and maybe dance) along -- it helps.
also if i have too many things (like, more than two!) on my to-do list for the day i get over-whelmed.
a vintage teapot with a cosy to go with it. fabulous gift.
this reminded me of the book on knitting wild tea cosies that i received for christmas.
p.s did you make/draw your blog header?
Don't take down your Christmas tree!! Let's have a competition on who keeps it up the longest! haha
do you listen to Joanna Newsom? she reminds me a bit of Kate Bush - cool stuff!
Heh - I featured the other video for this on my site.
Awesome sauce, dude!
